After a fresh rebuild on my motor that has barely been cranked over, ran for a totall of two minutes, there is alot of coolant in the exhaust pipes and alot of coolant in the oil too. What could have possibly caused this? :cry:
 
This your first rebuild?

I'm betting that it's your headgasket too. Make sure you didn't put it on backwards or unaligned. Also did you make sure the head and block deck was true and flat?
 
this was the first 4g63 rebuild i have done but not first rebuild ever. Yes i did make sure the blocks surface was perfect and the head was brand new. Also i was very careful when torquing the head bolts and used all new hardware and made sure the headgasket fit the way it should. so i doubt thats where the leak is coming from.
 
The headgasket would be the first thing I would check, its very easy to do a compression test. If it's not the headgasket maybe the turbo. I am not sure but it may be possible for the coolant to get into the oil passages of the turbo if the seals are bad. But I would check the compression first just to be safe.
